Our Book Page Holder turned out very successful, it has created a whole new market (there are more than 500 competitors selling different variations of our product) and earned thousands of positive reviews (about 8000 reviews for all the models). Our models are of the best quality, are the most expensive on the market and still sell about 50% of market share in units.Our new products turned out successful as well. All of our launches earned "#1 new release" badge on Amazon. This is because we work on a design very thoroughly, pay attention to the customers needs and deliver the best possible quality. Each of our products are the most expensive on the market and still they are amongst the best sellers.Besides that, we have an army of influencers (more than 400), who are happy to make posts and videos about us, just by sending them a product as a gift (one Tik-Tok video has earned 4.7 million views and 300K likes - https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvt.tiktok.com%2FZSRxWQHFM%2F&h=AT2nUbIybLatFj7EbcsCM-TSRoEWPqPZgOygjbriNU4PWr8flCJPBey-hgv0LGC7CXptfLcDeLDmpsa6mSYA3qUGQZWX0qpkGM7CFEq6mDssU4GBULyN9lrD6X01sJ95nEgrZw )From the very first days our only concern has been to keep up with the demand, so in 2020 we decided to manufacture products on our own. We have a small factory in Tbilisi, Georgia (about 30 workers). All our products are made by hand from the best parts of Walnut wood. They are sanded with a very smooth finish and oiled at the end.
